These measurement labels are arrays, where the indexed element points to the same
satellite.
(E.g. gps_info_satsigstrength[3] tells the receiving signal strength of satellite 3. Satellite 3
has the SAT-ID given in gps_info_satid[3])
Measurement label
gps_info_satid[ ]
gps_info_satinuse[ ]
gps_info_satelevation[ ]
gps_info_satazimuth[ ]
gps_info_satsigstrength[ ] Signal, 00-99 dB
Electrical
Is the transmitter signal of the GPS sensor connected to the receiver pin of serial interface
2 of the C 70?
Is the GPS sensor powered up?
Does the GPS sensor deliver RS232 signal levels?
Is the sensor connected to the „sensor ground" of the device?
Interface
Do the baud rates of the GPS sensor and the C 70 match?
Is the GPS sensor set up for 8N1 transmission parameters?
Is the GPS sensor set up for NMEA messages?
Are the GGA, VTG, RMC messages activated?
